Trouble populating a look up field during sharepoint flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hello - I am creating a flow to create a new item in a Sharepoint List when an item is added to another Sharepoint List and bring over some of the data. 

 

I have it set up so that it creates a new item for each Item Type in the first spreadsheet, and I want to bring in the ID field from the first spreadsheet to each of the new records so that it is a clickable link to the record. 

 

So spreadsheet 1: 

 

Order ID (single line text), Items Ordered (choice - multiple)

 

spreadsheet 2: 

 

Inventory ID (single line text), Order ID (?), Item Ordered (single line text) 

 

Here is my flow:

So this works, but I can't figure out how to link the Order ID. Currently the "Order ID id" field is lookup to the Order ID field in Spreadsheet 1. If I select the dropdown, it lets me add existing ID numbers, and then they show up as a link, but I want it to add the new ID number from the record that is generating the new items. 

 

I tried adding to another simple text field, and it comes through correct but it is not a link to the other item. 

 

Any help is appreciated!!
